The Polish Library (612 Fillmore Ave) is one of Buffalo's most treasured cultural centers. Located on the east side of Buffalo, the Adam Mickiewicz Polish Library and Dramatic Circle, as it is officially known, is recognized as one of the first theaters in the city, in addition to hosting social club events and having a pretty awesome beer selection to boot. In more recent times, it has served as a music venue to some of Buffalo's best punk and hardcore bands. The last few years have seen some amazing shows pass through the Library's worn doors, including a couple of the infamous Decency Rallies.

Recently the library purchased the lot next door and are looking to expand in the near future. Tonight's benefit show aims to raise funds for this cause. You have some great bands from the punk, hardcore and indie scene including everybodies favorite surf-punk act, Mayday!, lovers of dissonant, Sonorous Gale, party punks, the Narcs, Water Torture, Dream Journal and Animal Lover. For $5, that's a steal. Come down, buy some beers and support a good cause. Shows at 7.

The female-fronted anarcho-surf punks in MAYDAY! are making their triumphant return to the Buffalo scene this evening.  They are joined by a number of other bizarrely genre'd bands including The Narcs ("Rochester's urban concern"), the "Clevo punk punks" in Smooth Brain, and the dope proto-metalheads in Flood Drinker.  

The show starts at 8:00pm with a $6 door.  It's at the Jungle Gym - 357 Breckenridge - although Facebook says this event is located in Buffalo, Outer Space.  You might want to leave a bit early then.

Stop what your doing right now and watch the video below. What your seeing is a typical Spits gig, recorded in all its drunken glory. Budweiser, couches crowd surfing, fatness, childish antics, animal hats and good old fashioned punk rock are all part of the fun that is the Spits, those legendary rabble rousers from Seattle. Tonight the group graces (disgraces?) our presence at Soundlab along with some other most excellent achievers. Also on the bill is the haunted funhouse known as TV Ghost, Utah Jazz (Buffalo) and the Narcs (Rochester). Surely the most fun and, dare I say, retarded, show of the night! Action drops at 8pm ($14 door). Yuuuuuuuuuup!
